Programming Poppler

Poppler is a classic example of something without documentation that you would prefer to document. This question is an agnostic of the language, just asking about the general idea. In short, how do you control PDF viewing with poppler?
From what I can say, you will need to use poppler to display it on some surface, which sounds good until you ask yourself how the user will select text and the like. Does poppler offer a window for various bindings, or do you need to code it all yourself?

You need to code it all - Poppler processes only part of the PDF, you need to write a graphical interface. Take a look at the Evince code for a good example.

If you are creating an application in GLib, then there is good documentation. http://developer.gnome.org/poppler/unstable/index.html

If you can compile this documentation with doxygen, just check the code. :)
